Dukan diet French toast

I’ve noticed an unusual number of pageviews on my post about Dukan diet’s desserts. I thought I should share another Dukan recipe from the French book “La patisserie Dukan” on my blog since this diet seems to be popular right now and since that book isn’t available in English yet.

This French toast recipe is quick & easy. It’s not the best French toast ever, but it contains a lot less carbs than normal French toast.

First, you have to make your own bread. Don’t worry, it’s going to be very simple since we’re going to cook the bread in the microwave.

Ingredients for the egg mixture:

Beat everything together to make the egg mixture. Take your spongy bread and cut it into pieces.

Dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture, allowing bread to soak up some of the mixture. Put a tiny bit of olive oil on a non stick large skillet on medium high heat. Add slices of bread onto the skillet. Fry until brown on both sides, flipping the bread when necessary.

A serving for one person

These French toasts taste better served warm and with a bit of maple syrup, or some berries; but these last ingredients are forbidden during the first phases of the Dukan diet!

Does it taste as spongy as it looks?^^ So I’ve got a question, I live in Belgium and since Holland isn’t that far away from here, I wonder where you get your agave, cause I can’t seem to get my hands on it over here at all! love your blog btw :)

Hi, I live in Rome and I’m following the Dukan diet.
I find it impossible to use sweeteners……..every thing tastes so strange!!!!
Can I use maple siurp? or agave?
please help me, I can’t continue the diet with such a restriction.

Hi Riccia,
Try to listen to what your body is telling you. If sweeteners make you feel bad, avoid them. In the Dukan diet you’re not allowed to have maple syrup or agave in the first and second phases of the diet. Yes, this is indeed a very restrictive diet. If you’re not obese you’d be better off skipping the first and second phases of the diet. You may lose weight much slowly but you’ll at least keep your sanity!

In the US edition of the book, sugar free syrup is allowed. I love this french toast with fat free cream cheese and some sugar free syrup. it is delicious and I dont notice a real difference from using real bread.

If you want the flavor without the calories of maple syrup, use maple syrup extract in the egg batter and definitely add some cinnamon. It will be extra yummy! Plus cinnamon has wonderful health benefits too.
I started on the Dukan Diet in August and lost 45 pounds (I’m American) before Christmas. I still want to lose another 15, so I am sticking to the 2nd phase until I get there.
You can also add lots of tasty things to the galettes to make them more interesting and tasty. I make an orange/zucchini galette, pumpkin galette, and blueberry lemon galette. And even though blueberries aren’t allowed until the 3rd phase, I have still lost the weight. Of course, I don’t eat them often. Plus blueberries, raspberries and blackberries don’t affect your blood sugar like other fruits.

Hi! Great blog. I tried making this today… I guess i was a bit impatient and I didn’t let the egg mixture soak into the bread and it started burning. So i poured it on top while frying, it became like a french toast omelette haha but still tasted pretty good. Tastes kinda like oatmeal!
